Visiting with cousins

Uncle Bryan and his boys came up for a few days after Christmas and the girls loved getting to visit and play some more.
Playing games with Nana.


All the cousins














Ben wanted a picture with all the nieces and nephews but Alaina didn't want to be in.  I was forcing her to and she was struggling.  This picture of the struggle is hilarious!

The actual picture, though.

Christmas

We woke up around 8 on Christmas morning and wondered why we hadn't heard the girls yet.  Normally we can hear them scooting around whispering, wondering what's in all the presents.  This time, though, they were quiet.  Rusty went to find them and found them together in Caitlin's room, just hanging out until we woke up.  Love those girls!!

We always start with stockings first.


Alaina loved her hat and wears it sometimes around the house for fun.













Caitlin got some moldable plastic and had no idea what it was so Rusty pulled up YouTube and showed her how cool it was.

Caitlin got Alaina a high chair for her babies.  She loved it!



In the middle of gifts, Papa Larry called so we all talked to him.







Then resumed with present opening.




Alaina couldn't help but play in the middle of opening.  She loved the dollhouse Santa brought her!!

And she thought the bow on her bootie was hilarious!










Finally Caitlin got some PJs that she liked.














After presents, we made the annual monkey bread for breakfast.

Then that afternoon, we went to Nana's house for family, fun and a few more presents.















Caitlin's been saying she wanted a video camera but I kept telling her that I wasn't buying her one.  Well I happened to mention it to Heather and she was like, "Oh I have an old one that I don't use.  I'll give her that."  These pictures don't do justice to how excited she was when she opened this one.  It was EXACTLY what she wanted and she was totally surprised.





Later we wanted a picture of Andrew and Caitlin doing their weird grumpy faces.  They are the only ones that can contort their mouths like this.





Playing with Aunt Stephanie.

Christmas Eve

On the night of Christmas Eve, we always have one present they can open.  Usually they get new PJs and either a book or a movie.

Caitlin got onesie pjs that I knew she would either love or hate. 
She hated them and wouldn't even let me get a picture. 


Alaina, however, loved hers!



All ready for Christmas!
